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.

-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.
