UCW president speaks at United Church FROM LONDESBORO Finishing school business Although the school year for Hullett Central officially ended nearly two weeks ago, there were a few pieces of news from there you might like to hear. On May 2 staff and students participated in Jump Rope for Heart. This program raised over $2,800 for the Ontario Heart and Stroke Foundation. Guest speaker at Londesboro United Church this past Sunday was Margaret Hem. She is Huron-Perth Presbyterials UCW president and an active member of Presbytery’s rural life committee. She and her husband farm at RRl, Woodham and her message was titled All This and the Bam Door, too! For the children’s time, she read The Crippled Lamb, a story of Josh, an orphan lamb with a bad leg. When he left sad and alone his friend Abigail, the cow, told him that God has a special place for those who feel left out. On Christmas Day for Josh that truly special place was in the manger keeping the Baby Jesus warm. Brenda Konarski was in charge of junior congregation. Scripture lessons were a paraphrase of Psalm 145: 1-9; and selected verses from Ecclesiastes I: 3-9 and 3: 1-13. Standing at the bam door one can appreciate beauty and the richness of life from within the bam and outside the door, Mrs. Hern said. How lucky Christ was to be born in a stable. Scars on the bam door reflect the realities of hard times found in life itself. A bam door/a new day/life itself is opened with anticipa­ tion each morning and closed with thankfulness at the end of the days. Betty Graber Watson will conduct the service on July 16. Flowers at the front of the sanctuary were from the funeral on Friday, July 7 of Mary Caldwell McDougall. The sympathy of the congregation and the community is expressed to her surviving nephews and nieces. Mary and husband, Jake, came to Londesboro many years ago from PEOPLE AROUND LONDESBORO By BRENDA RADFORD Coll 523-4296 Kites soar over school More than once this spring our attention was caught by brightly coloured kites swooping and straining against the wind in the school yard. The interest in the kite flying was sparked by Steven Dougherty. Steven attended the Mitchell Kite Festival early last spring and became intrigued by the sport. He took his kites to school hoping to interest others in flying. The Grade 4 class in particular took an interest in learning and even Mr. in the fall to come to Hullett school to demonstrate and talk to the pupils about kite flying. In the years since I came to Londesboro, the village has undergone significant changes in size and character. Then we all knew each other and (for better or worse), about each other and were familiar with those for miles beyond the village limits. However, society as a whole has changed and as villagers we tend to Goderich. They resided with Mary’s parents for whom she cared. Jake was a painter and trapper. They resided at the Seaforth Manor for a few years before their respective passings. stay busy with our own lives. Now, sadly, we don’t always know much about those in our community. In the months that I’ve been writing this column not a week goes by that I haven’t learned something new about one .of you. Over the next few weeks I’d like to share some of those mental computer bytes with you. I hope you enjoy the format. Movie buff or not, everyone recognizes the line from Ghostbusters - who you gonna call? Now I ask, Who in our community are you going to call if you have - a) run out of makeup or skin care products b) a pet in need of grooming c) trouble caring for your toenails d) a lawn that needs mowing? Answers in next week’s column. CLASSIFIED MARKETPLACE "Advertise Across Ontario or Across the Country" The Bio Agri Mix-Fairies Benefit Services Cdn. Reading Fund has awarded Hullett School with $200. This monies will assist the school’s Silver Birch Reading Program. There will be a number of changes to the teaching staff come September. Kathy Pletch and Al Sanders have retired while Elizabeth Stennett is moving out of the area. Crystal Whyte is taking a year’s maternity leave. Her son Quinn arrived Sunday, June 25. Principal George Barker has been moved to Brookside Public School. Classes resume again Sept. 5. Hullett considers tenders After a review of tenders submitted, Hullett council selected a contractor for work in 2000, at the July 4 meeting. The quote from Merner Contracting Ltd., in the amount of $54,338.60 was accepted. Council supported a resolution from Windsor endorsing the municipal action plan, 'Protecting Our Water’, as announced by Association of Municipalities of Ontario President Michael Power. Accounts totalling $34,336.02 were approved for payment Barker bought a kite and became involved along with some other pupils. Steven told me that getting a kite up is the easy part of kite flying for in our area there is always some wind. The real fun in flying a kite is in learning how to keep the kite up to manoeuvre it in the winds and to do stunts or tricks with it. Kites come in a variety of sizes, prices, materials and styles. Most people are familiar with and have tried flying a single line kite with a tail. Steven’s favourite is a dual line stunt trainer kite which he purchased from 'Tail Spin Kites’ in Mitchell. A ‘feather’ kite is made of such fine material that it requires almost no wind to fly. One can also purchase a quad line kite and a parachute style which will actually pull a person on a three-wheeled buggy. A hobby kite can be purchased for $20 but the sky’s the limit, so to speak, for pricing of larger, more elaborate models, Steven says. Steven has spent much time learning about winds and how they affect kite flying. His family is travelling west in August and he plans to fly kits along the way to see how winds differ in the various locations. As opposed to our gusty winds, Steven has learned the mountain regions of B.C. have more constant wind which will provide new challenges for handling. It is hoped that the owner of Tail Spin Kites will have an opportunity COMING EVENTS CAMPING! Chevy Truck Presents: Havelock Country Jamboree, August 17-20.

Cty. council lowers speed limits The speed limit will be lowered on County Rd. 86 in the village of Molesworth under a bylaw passed by County Council June 6. The speed limit in the village is 70 km but there have been complaints from residents and businesses that this is too fast. The new bylaw will reduce the speed to 60 km per hour. The speed limit on County Rd. 12 at Wroxeter, south of County Rd. 87 will be reduced to 60 km from the current 90 under the same bylaw. *** The county has given up its tight to have the province show the same kind of efficiency it had expected from the county. The county had argued that, since the province reduced its payments to the county by 1.7 per cent in 1998 calling it an “efficiency reduction”, the county should also reduce its payments to the province for services the province expected the county to pay for. The county withheld the money but the province ignored the county’s claim and misapplied the county’s payments to cover the deficiency, leading to a bookkeeping nightmare for county staff. The county feels it has made its point and will now make payments in full instead of withholding l.7 per cent. LOW INVESTMENT FRANCHISE. Liberty Tax Service. 100% growth last year in Ontano.
