Ponds of surface water and flooded cellar basements were common in the area last Sunday. These conditionS resulted from the summer's 'most severe thunder= storm. It started in the Ripley area about ten on Saturday evening and continued through till after day- -break on Sunday morning. ' So far there are no reports of buildings being struck around Ripley. However, there were many close lightning flashes stabbing through the dark sky. Coupled with the'thurider and the downpour of rain, it made the night a: rough experience, The first big flash "loaded" the hydro lines .on the Circuit serving the homeS on Malcolm and Main Street in 'the north part of Ripley resulting in "burned out" light, bulbs. On Sunday morning, caretaker Murdock MacDonald and Alex . Smith spent' a couple of hours ' getting the, water from the lower floor of the Ripley District High School. Village foreman, bonnie Peterbaugh reported no water in the complex building. However there was plenty out- side. To the west the front field on John C. MacDonald's farm was like a lake and to the northeast corner another lake was backed up into the north .corner of the ball park. Despite a continuous effort by the sump pump, there .was water in the basernent of 'Huron Township hall; Luckily it is. not Ripley Fall' Fair time till the last week end in September for inside the cattle barn or Knox shed was covered With ••water: Across the road from the Huron Township hall a sump pump was busy pumping • the water out: of the cellar at the home of Mrs. Mary (Donnie) MacDonald. 'Johnny Smith reported a large area of his farm two blocks east of Ripley under water.. Lawrence Stanley had these fields ready for fall wheat seeding this week before returning to his teaching position.. John also reported seeing the smoke from a fire possibly in ,the Iucknow area. George McLean's store had water in the basement and it is quite likely that this was the situation, in more stores along the main streets. About half of Gore Park was In Ripley covered with water, as was also the telephone pole yard north of Jack Treleaven's Ripley grain elevator. At the east end of, Malcolm Street, Forgotten Lake again appeared surrounding two houses there. Also there was water backed up from it to the, north of the home of and Mrs. Joe Fludder. On Sunday afternoon the water in the telephone pole yard had drairied away but Gore Park, Huron Market, the Ripley Honey house, Forgotten Lake and the areas around the new' Huron Township shed, all had surface water still present. * * * * * * Last Tuesday morning, Mrs. Nora .

Peter and Helen Chisholm -This Week: BY AB WYLDS Visiting in Ripley with' Mrs. Martha Maclver during the'week of August 11 to' 18- was her grand- daughter Miss Joan Maclver of Fort McMurray and friend Ken Reed. Then last week they visited in Unionville with Ken's' grad- mother and other relatives. Last, Friday they flew home from Malton Airport to Fort McMurray. Winner of last week's Ripley and District Lions Club Bingo was Mrs. Theresa Vasey, 95 Cedarhill Cres., Kitchener. Among , those attending the funeral' service for Mrs. Charles Wyld in Ripley last Friday was Dan Wylds of the 12th concession of Ashfield Township. A piece of the early history 'of Ripley came to light on' Monday • evening as the result of the interest Jerry Huber took in a stone lying in his barnyard at the north end of the village. This is at the former Bob and Bert MacTavish earn which Jerry now owns. On this stone was the inscription "A. Mowbray, Architect, Ripley." Jerry, with his building experience, thought that it was a corner stone from a building rather than a marker stone from a cemetery: Indeed when—Jerry- contacted the Mowbray family in Lucknow, such was the case. On Monday evening of last week the Mowbray 'brothers, Alex and Bob, came to Ripley and the writer took them to the barnyard where they recovered it - as a prized family possession and a gift _from Jerry. The A. Mowbray was also Alex Mowbray - their great uncle and he had been a builder here for some five years before moving west. * * * * PALMER IRWIN Palmer Irwin passed away at Pinecrest Manor Nursing Home, Lucknow on Saturday, August 16th.
