Congregation organizes area stone house tour
Vanastra Christian Reformed
Church congregation is organizing a
stone house tour to raise funds for
the new church building.
"It's amazing how many people
are curious to see what the inside of
a stone house looks like." says Janet
Boot. fundraising organizer.
Featuring five homes within a 10-
kilometre radius of Vanastra, the
stone house tour includes Boot's own
farmhouse, a stone structure that
features the two-foot windowsills
common to all the homes on the tour.
Another stop on the tour is the
New area
principals
announced
The Avon Maitland District School
Board has announced its principal and
vice-principal placements for the
2004-2005 school year.
The board's release stated that some
appointments and transfers were a
result of a number of retirements of
current school administrations.
Locally Frank Stretton, current vice-
principal at Listowel Central Public
School will be acting principal at East
Wananosh. He will replace Shelly
Blackmore, who will become the new
principal at Wallace Public School.
Alice McDowell, current principal
at-Grey Central Public School will
become principal at Victoria Public
School and will be replaced by Rob
Snell, current vice-principal at Avon
Public School.
Kerry Carlyle from the Thames
Valley District School Board will
become vice-principal at Seaforth
Public School, replacing Denise
Drinkwalter, who will become
principal at Mornington Public School.
Jamieson home on Huron Road
between Clinton and Seaforth where
Len and Deb Jamieson have lived
since 1986. All its stones came from
the land owned by settler Gavin
Jamieson.
Len Jamieson is a direct
descendent of Jamieson and recalls a
family story passed down in which a
basket of money arrived from the
"old countrynthat being Scotland).
The windfall was used to build a
frame addition onto the front of the
house in the 1880s.
A much newer frame addition was
built onto the VanDenHengel stone
house on Sanctuary Line outside of
Vanastra. It provides the family with
a country kitchen and created more
living room in the original stone
structure. Though it looks small,
owner Tony VanDenHengel says it's
actually quite roomy and contains
three good-sized bedrooms upstairs.
A short laneway marks the
entrance to the Poirier stone house
on Vanastra Road. It took two and
half years to. build this two-storey
structure. It was one of five stone
homes built by the Scottish stone
masons who were brought over by
the McFarlane family in the late
1800s. A lot of history has been
passed down about the house
through the diary of one of the
original owner's daughters and is in
the possession of Jean-Paul and
Mary Poirier.
Various owners resided in the
Huron County's largest used book
sale, a fundraiser held annually at the
Blyth Festival, has realized well in
excess of $35,000 during its 24 years
of operation.
Unusual autographed books,
historical village portraits, Canadian
playwrights and exceptional rare
gems are often found as well as the
traditional harlequins, hard and soft
covers, videos, CDs, children's books
and tapes.
A tradition of the book sale has
always been the rhubarb custard pie
($6) and pecan pie ($7) freshly baked
by Lynda McGregor. This year. for
the first time, pies can be ordered in
advance by calling the box office at
523-9300 before Friday, June 4 at 3
p.m. Pickup is between 10 a.m. and 3
p.m. on Saturday at Memorial
Hall.
Fresh pie is also available by t he
home before the Poiriers purchased it
six and a half years ago. They
immediately began renovations,
restoring the original wood floors
upstairs, revamping the kitchen with
modern conveniences and redoing
the main floor with Italian tiles and
antiques.
Too large for two, the couple uses
the space for a tea room and bed and
breakfast.
Gentle waters border the Scott
home on Roxboro Line, gentle that
is, until spring when they can creep
dangerously close to the basement of
this 1861 home. But it has never
flooded yet.
The home features " several
antiques including an office desk
once used by Ken Scott's great-
grandfather and a grandfather clock
that was one of the few possessions
the original Scotts took with them
when they left Scotland for Canada
in 1834.
The home is replete with history
which is included in 'Musings', a
book written by Scott's father, Sam.
The stone house is one of three
remaining original homes in what
used to be the thriving community of
Roxboro. More Scott lore will be
provided in pamphlet form on the
tour.
Visitors can pay $10 to see these
homes on Friday, June 4 and
Saturday, June 5. Eaclv will be
decorated by a local business in a
seasonal theme.
The final stop on the tour is the
Vanastra Community Christian
Reformed Church which, itself, has a
unique history as Vanastra's original
public school. Like many buildings
in this former army base, it features a
huge basement complete with
bunkers for safety from bombs that
never fell.
Many ready and willing volunteers jumped to action to help
organize a book sale as part of a Blyth Festival fundraiser.
Books, books and more books filled the tables at Memorial
Hall on May 31 and Joe Wooden, one of several volunteers,
helped to put the books in different categories. (Elyse DeBruyn
