FROM LONDESBORO
Woman
builds for
Habitat
Marilyn, the red-headed daughter
of Larry and Sandra Mayberry of
Londesboro is headed to New
Zealand from Feb. 2 - 18. Currently
living in Cambridge and employed
as materials manager for Walker
Muffler, Marilyn will be using her
vacation time to help build two
houses through a Habitat for
Humanity project.
That non-profit organization
works to eliminate poverty housing
for families by constructing homes
for/with them.
Her love of travelling will be com-
bined with her desire to help the less
fortunate. She participated in a simi-
lar project last year in Waterloo.
The group prefers that its volun-
teers fundraise to cover the cost of
their participation. Through those
efforts more people learn about the
Habitat for Humanity organization.
Marilyn made a quilt and two
matching pillows to raffle in an
effort to raise the $5,500 she needs
for her expenses. Her church and the
Optimist Club of Kitchener have
also supported her monetarily.
If you or a group would like to
help her reach her goal, or would
like more information, you can con-
tact her at 1-519-650-2660 or Box
243, LQndesboro, NOM 2H0.
Icy -roads
cause accident
Huron OPP officers were called to
the Seaforth Public Hospital on Jan.
28 shortly after 12:30 a.m. over a
single vehicle collision. Two males
had been injured in a crash a short
time before on Kippen Road near the
intersection of Stone Road in
McKillop Twp., approximately 10
kms. south of Seaforth.
James Dalton, 25, of Hullett Twp.
was driving a 1998 Chev pickup
truck east when he failed to negoti-
ate a curve rolling the truck into the
ditch. Dalton and David McKay, 25,
of Hensall, a passenger in the truck,
climbed out of the wreckage and
walked back to the edge of the road.
A passing motorist who came on the
scene drove the two men to the local
hospital in Seaforth.
Dalton was found to be in serious
condition and transferred to London
Health and Science Trauma Unit.
McKay was held overnight in
Seaforth and the next morning trans-
ferred to London Health and Science
Centre for further examination.
Officers on the scene found that
the roadway was snow covered and
icy.
Both men have now been released
from the hospital. Huron OPP are
continuing the investigation.
The service at Londesboro United
Church on Sunday, Jan. 28 focused
on the topic, Predestination Fittingly,
the choir anthem was If You Trust
God.
Don and Matt Goodall ushered
churchgoers on the fourth Sunday of
Epiphany.
Finding a glass ball in the story-
bag, Rev. Paul Ross and the children
discussed fortune telling or looking
into the future. They agreed it is
impossible to know what the future
holds except to be assured that God
will be there to love and guide them.

A few weeks ago, I interviewed
Mr. Dave Medd as he was retiring
from his teaching career. As of Jan.
8, Mr. Craig Caldwell is teaching the
Grade 4-5 class at Hullett Central
Public School.
Mr. Caldwell remembers wanting
to be a teacher when he was five
years old. He was reminded of this
when looking through photo albums
nis mother has kept.
Craig grew up in this area and
attended Clinton Public School

9 through 13 at Central Huron
Secondary School. He completed a
four-year course at the University of
Waterloo then spent a year in
Australia earning his teaching diplo-
ma.
Mr. Caldwell did not always want
to teach at the elementary level.
Originally he wanted to be a high
school science teacher.
Although Mr. Caldwell is at the
beginning of his teaching career he
has done some supply teaching in
Huron County. Last year he taught
Gooding of Listowel who won the
PT Cruiser, the top prize in the Blyth
Bulldogs Sweepstakes.
Some of you may knoW that the
ticket for the draw purchased last
November by my husband was
drawn as an early bird winner. As a
result last Wednesday a die-hard
Maple Leaf fan and his wife watched
a hockey game at the Air Canada
Centre. Truthfully we have seen the
Leafs play before but not from such
great seats directly behind the net.
Also a bonus was seeing two of the

Bible, he said, does not actually
claim predestination for believers
but some of the stories seem to ,
allude to it.
Rev. Ross believes that the role of
function God calls Christians to play
out in life is predetermined.
However within that belief choices
are still possible and life is about
accepting the consequences of the
choices made. Life is not predictable
but God's presence is, he said.

packed around the world visiting
Egypt, Northern Ireland, Europe,
Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand, and

special memories. The sights in
Egypt were awesome he said, but the
Egyptians don't treat tourists fairly.
Before his teaching career, Mr.
Caldwell worked at several jobs.

This draw was part of on-going

Now that amalgamation is a fact of
life my fear is that the smaller com-
munities may be forgotten in the
larger scheme. This group of Blyth

the temple in Nazareth and reads
from the scriptures. By doing so, He
fulfilled a prophesy by the prophet,

The message text came from the
Old Testament passage, Jeremiah 1:
4-10, when God tells Jeremiah that
before he was born, God had
ordained him a prophet to the
