FROM LONDESBORO
Students
bid
farewell
to teacher
Classes have ended for another
school year at Hullett Central Public
School. When they resume again in
September one very familiar face
will not be returning for classes Ms
Rosie Wiese. Rosie is retiring after
30 years of teaching, several of
which were spent in the
Londesborough school. Meaghan
Wheeler interviewed Ms Wiese as
June drew to a close.
M - What made you choose
teaching as a career?
R - 1 always loved school. As a
child whenever a teacher needed
help, I would always volunteer. I
was always encouraged to follow
my dream.
M - What schools have you
taught at?
R - I taught at St. Andrew’s
Senior School in Galt; at Hensall,
Vanastra and Hullett Public Schools
here in Huron County.
M - Have you always taught in
the primary grades?
R -1 began teaching Grades 6 - 8.
Later I taught Grades 5 - 8 as well as
Grades 1 and 2.
M - What was your favourite
grade to teach?
R - I really enjoy all grades and
like to teach language, science,
physical education and art most of
all.
M - What is something about
teaching that you will never forget?
R - I will never forget the
children’s eagerness to learn. I will
certainly miss them.
M - What is your favourite part
about teaching?
R - I liked seeing the children’s
progress and work in language and
art.
M - Did you have jobs other than
teaching?
R - While going through school
and university I worked at a car
factory, a cookie factory and I
waitressed.
M - What are your plans for
retirement?
R - I plan to read, travel some,
visit more with family and friends,
work in my ice cream store and
volunteer.

St. Augustine church
marks 100
A structure, which along with its
parishioners, has stood the test of
time will house a 100th anniversary
celebration this weekend.
St. Augustine Roman Catholic
Church was constructed in 1903
after it was decided that the 1872
frame building needed to be
replaced.
Built from native limestone,
quarried from a site just three miles
away, the stone church was
completed for a cost of $18,000, due
in part to the many volunteer hours
provided by parishioners.
Though the church has been
without a full-time priest since last
fall, the church community remains
vital, using the building for funerals,
weddings, showers, Catholic
Women’s League meetings and the
annual Christmas bazaar.

that jolly old England is still jolly,
particularly on a warm summer
evening in Leicester Square, part of
the theatre district of London.
London Bridge is definitely not
falling down.
There are still birds for Mary
Poppins and the children to feed on
the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Eight ravens are thankfully still in
residence at the Tower of London.
The Jack the Ripper murders have
never been solved and apparently
there are no new clues.
Paddington Bear can still be found
at Paddington Station while Harrods
is the ultimate in department stores.
Sadly, trying on the Crown Jewels
is not allowed nor is modelling any
of the Queen’s many interesting hats
at Kensington Palace.
Mona Lisa continues to be amused
although Queen Victoria is not. I
could not bring home a piece of
Stonehenge for the gardens as
seemingly over the centuries too
many other folk have.
It was a busy, busy week.
