Students raise funds for Steffler Foundation
Jan. 30 was Bell Let’s Talk Day
nationwide. In recent years, Bell has
been donating a portion of its
various media charges on the last
Wednesday of January to mental
health. Mental health has been
identified as a crucial aspect of
today’s health. This is Bell’s attempt
to raise awareness of the issue. A
great deal of money was raised again
this year.
In recent years the terms
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS),
Post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), sadness and postpartum
have been heard/discussed more
frequently. And yet there continues
to be a stigma associated with
admitting a mental health issue.
How society has changed when
sports coaches are now watching for
the signs and big companies are
offering help to their employees. We
are, as it turns out, our brothers’
keepers. Realizing one needs help
can be the true stumbling block.
Tanner Steffler, a Seaforth area
teenager, died recently because he
and his parents were unable to
access help for him. The Tanner
Steffler Foundation has been set up
to raise awareness and make funds
available for students to get the help
they need. Bullying in our schools
can be a major cause of student
despair.
On Wednesday, Jan. 30 Hullett
Public School took part in
discussions about mental health and
wellness and through the sale of
candygrams raised $509 for the
Tanner Steffler Foundation. Well
done, Hullett. Discussions like these
will hopefully help our young folk
reach out when they feel they are in
trouble.
This Thursday, Valentine’s Day, is
a Spirit Day at Hullett. Closets will
be raided for red, pink and/or white
clothing items to wear to brighten up
the halls. And the school will hold a
dance that day as well. Fun for these
dreary days of winter!
Hullett will hold its in-house
public speaking and storytelling
competition on Thursday, Feb. 28
beginning at 9 a.m. Brighten your
winter by dropping by the school
that day and enjoy hearing what is
interesting our young folk these
days.

PEOPLE AROUND
LONDESBORO
Coincidently, right on the heels of
Bell Let’s Talk Day, I found myself
in a situation that had me thinking
about mental health again.
As I have reached the “senior
years”, I find articles in magazines
and papers that jump out at me,
about living to the max as a senior.
That situation can cause mental
health issues and advice is abundant.
Seems the onus falls to the
individual to stay involved and
active. However circumstances can
vary widely and the individual may
not recognize the need to make life
changes. It is very easy for a senior
to feel unneeded/unwanted by the
rest of the world, useless and having
no value.
So, last week both my husband
and I stayed housebound with a cold
and flu. It was the first time we felt
able to actually stay home as is
suggested in those circumstances for
the benefit of others and try to kick
the bug.
Perhaps because it was the first
time, I soon realized how easy it is to
have those feelings of being
unneeded, of not being important to
the rest of the world. U.S. President
Donald Trump continued to rant
about his wall, Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau continued to work
toward freeing the Canadians in
China, traffic continued on the
highway in front of the farm, the
Toronto Maple Leafs continued to
battle toward the playoffs and the
rest of you went about keeping life
moving.
I just felt totally unwell and a little
sorry for myself. See how easy it is
to begin to have an issue? That’s
why talking about mental health and
one’s feelings is so important.
Members of Londesborough
United Church are reminded that on
Feb. 17 the morning worship will
begin at 9:30 a.m. This gives Knox
United in Auburn the later service,
followed by its annual meeting.
Gayle Coleman will lead both
worships.
This means the following week,
Feb. 24, Londesborough United will
hold its annual meeting. Bring along
potluck finger food to share in
advance of the business.
So, go to church early this Sunday
and head down the road after for
breakfast at the community hall with
the Lions Club.
I went searching for a valentine
message to offer and came across a
poem titled “Daily Valentines” by
Cleo King. I offer the last two
verses:
“Our valentines may be a smile, a
cheerful word or two,
A helping hand, a tender glance
that signals, ‘I love you’.
And if we often take the time to
give these friendly signs,
The world will soon be brightened
by our daily valentines.”
