PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO Those in the community who remember Kaye Saundercock will be sorry to hear she is experiencing health problems and is awaiting surgery. Following is her address in the event you wish to send some cheer her way: 115 - 635 Canterbury St., Woodstock, N4S 8X9. For a number of years the holiday weekend in May has been yard sale weekend in the village, Yard sales are a great way to recycle the articles for which you no longer have need. The more people with a yard sale the better it is for everyone. You might consider setting up with a neighbour (preferably one with a garage in the event of rain). If you live outside the village and want to join in, call a friend and ask about using their yard. This is a chance to promote our little village. It’s obvious by how quickly the bins at the township shed fill up that many of us appreciate the opportunity to recycle. However, I have a personal beef to air. The slot in the front of the cardboard bin is for sliding flattened boxes through. It’s frustrating to be unable to leave materials for recycling because someone has filled the bin with whole boxes. How hard can it be to crush that box. It would even take up less space in your truck or trunk. Laura Armstrong is hosting an exchange student from Caen, France.
